Balancing sodium and potassium intake, aiming for a ratio of approximately 1:1 or slightly more potassium than sodium, is important for health.

“I actually think everyone is better having having a lot of salt and potassium”

“what I would say with regard is sodium and potassium is balanced them think about how much sodium you're getting think about how much potassium you're getting and you probably want that ratio to be about 1 to 1 or maybe a little more potassium than sodium”

“it's probably more about the balance between potassium and sodium than it is about any one of those nutrients or minerals in and of itself or by itself”

“and I think that most people do best when their sodium potassium at least in the ballpark you know oh yeah it's it's almost a one-to-one I would say yeah pretty close anyway yeah”

“we'd probably want to balance sodium and potassium to some level for sure”

“I aim for about a four gram potassium 4 gram sodium ratio that 1 to 1 seems to work well for me”

“But partly, we're not getting enough potassium. Potassium comes from veggies and bananas and fruit and all these things, and you really wanna get enough potassium because the body cares about the sodium-potassium ratio.”
